“Faux Château” in Mexico.
The term faux château satirically refers to the adaptation of an idyllic French château into a typical suburban family home that is characterized primarily by its misuse of architectural concepts and incorrect detailing and/or proportioning. This type of residence is often referred to as having “old-world” styling or “Provençal” inspiration, in an attempt at foreign branding. “Faux Château” is often used interchangeably with “McMansion”. This type of property often has towers, as these are popular. (See picture)
